Hi! This is an incredibly important thread on why assuming a woman == a person with a uterus is harmful to many folks! As we work in reproductive science and towards reproductive autonomy it’s important to foster terminology that is inclusive. I encourage all to read this 🧵

I'm so excited to announce that my Master's work with @profjoycewong and Brett Isenberg is now published in Bioactive Materials! We looked at how uterine SMCs respond to mechanical strain and substrate coatings that are important in pregnancy. https://t.co/i2U1ialL1s

🚨#BMES2023 Engineering Endocrine Tissue Function Special Session happening THURS! Speakers incl @PhelpsLab_UF @JuanGnecco4 and abstract winner for the Rockstar award @JennHammel11. Bonus panel discussion on the challenges in engineering endocrine tissues to incl. @Prof_Harley!

Stop by our booth for the elephants, stay for the science! #tufts

I just realized my first author publication was not only ACCEPTED while I was in the midst of quals but is now IN PRESS! Feel free to check out our work on modeling primary colon permeability and cytokine damage on a high-throughput OOC platform below: https://t.co/9Os5d3R5N1

Tonight I had a very sweet ending to a long quals process, with a delicious bottle of Lambrusco decorated with the manuscript we've spent *weeks* pouring over, courtesy of @JuanGnecco4 . Onto a summer full of uterine cell culture and data collecting!!!

Proud PI moment: congrats @le_marr_ for absolutely killing it at your qual exam! #HUVECs 😣 Now, on to the good stuff…#reprohealth

I am so honored to be an author on my first ever published paper! This work is a culmination of my undergraduate research, and I am so excited to share it. Thank you to the BOTLab at BU for this opportunity! https://t.co/rFcfjWD40G

Exciting to see a display of the hallmarks of cancer (previously discussed in @MadeleineOudin’s Engineering Cancer class this semester) in Dr. Marcela Haro’s talk on the heterogeneity of immune phenotypes in endometriosis! #WCE2023

#WERFephect is being expanded with SOPs for using #experimentalmodels in #endometriosis research. Posters presented at #WCE2023 by Katie Burns (#homologous), Rahul Gomez (#heterologous), @JuanGnecco4 + @le_marr_ (#organoids), and @victor_fattori (#pain) overseen by @erinadelle17

So excited to hear from clinicians and fellow researchers at today’s first full day of #WCE2023 in Edinburgh! If you’re around, we will be presenting a poster on using endometrial organoids as in vitro research tools at Poster Session 1 (#P-129) @WorldEndoSoc

Count down LESS THAN 48 hours until the first sessions at #WCE2023! Wonderful to see more and more media attention on #endometriosis. Let’s keep the noise up throughout the upcoming congress!

It’s #endometriosisawarenessmonth and I coincidently got the opportunity to rant about it. Grateful for the platform @TEDxTufts.

It’s Rare Disease Day! 300 million people live with rare diseases worldwide. Together, we are not so rare. Proud to show our colors, stripes and genes with my rare daughter Margot and advocate for those with rare diseases. #RareDiseaseDay2023 #raredisease

Super excited to share our new single-cell study, an atlas of the murine reproductive tissues in preterm labor. This useful resource can be explored to further understand the cellular signaling of preterm labor/birth. @CellReports https://t.co/tnUQh2MYTM @nardhygomez @rogerpique

With fall classes over and a long reading to-do list, I saw a thread previously by @rdpalacio and decided to explore @RsrchRabbit . What an incredible way to review literature and identify key papers on a topic! You can even filter by last name authors to ID key labs.

Finished off my bioinformatics class with a poster session! Got to chat about my reanalysis of differential gene expression and pathway enrichment in trophoblasts on a scRNA seq data set published by Roser Vento-Tormo et al. (Nature 2018). Def a fan of R after this semester.

Thanks for the exciting morning @MBTA

Very wholesome ride. A lot of the GLX construction crew were taking the line and all meeting up at the last stop with hugs… so many people waiting to board! After Lechemere, the new tracks are so smooth. The green line starts CRUISING. Such a fun ride! GO TRY IT OUT!

Anyone wanna guess how I commuted to work this morning? GLX OFFICIALLY OPEN.
